Pumpkin Patch 2012

So we still don't have hot water, and since Paul's parents stopped by here on Friday on their way home from Crescent Bar they offered to take the girls to their place and we could have a date night and then go to their place on Saturday and spend the night.  So they took the girls home, gave them a bath and we went to the gym for a short workout and a SHOWER, then went to the local wine bar for a little date.  Instead of wine, though, we each had different martinis and they were so good.
 
 
 
Saturday morning we went out for breakfast and then to the in-laws.  It was yet another gorgeous fall day and we had been planning on going to a local pumpkin patch with our church group, so we went to one down there instead and it was really fun.  It's a cider mill that has expanded to include a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, hay ride, etc.  They also make the best apple fritters in the world.  Delish.
 
Tomorrow during preschool, instead of something fun, I get to come straight home and try and track down the part for our water heater that was SUPPOSED to be here Friday.  Sigh.  Tomorrow will be day 11 with no hot water.  It really sucks.  I almost wish it wasn't under warranty, then we could have just bought a new one from Home Depot and been done with it.

I am so sorry to hear you STILL don't have hot water!!! But I'm glad you got a little date night in the middle of your troubles. And love the pumpkin patch pictures! We made a quick trip a few weeks ago, but I hope to go back in the next week or so...we still need to buy pumpkins!

Hope you get the water heater straightened out soon!!!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
